Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this handsome and unique 1953 Hudson Hornet. Produced by Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, the unique âstep down" design was introduced in 1948 on the Commodore model. This was followed up in 1951 by the Hornet with a dual car 308 cubic inch inline 6, dubbed âTwin-H Power." The Hornet became famous thanks to its dominance in stock car racing. Thanks to drivers like Herb Thomas, Dick Rathmann and Marshall Teague the Hornet won more races than any other make in 1951, 1952 and 1954. While still a sporty looking car this particular example is less of a racer and more of a family car. The paint is a two tone dark/light green that really catches the eye. The interior is a time capsule to the 50s with two big bench seat upholstered in a green cloth pattern. Under the hood is the venerable 308 Twin H-Power Inline 6 and is paired with the optional 4 speed Hydramatic transmission. Imagine how this Hornet can get up and go! This car received the AACA First Prize Award in 2019. If you're looking for a sleek classic with loads of history this is the one you want to own!

About Hudson
Buckle up, folks, because we're about to take a thrilling ride through the incredible history of Hudson, the American automaker that roared through the golden age of cars with style, innovation, and a whole lot of spirit!
Born in the USA:
Hudson was as American as apple pie and jazz music. It rolled onto the scene in the early 1900s, right when the automobile industry was hitting its stride. From the start, Hudson was all about making cars for the everyday American, and boy, did they do it with flair!
Step On It!
Hudson was known for its performance. The Terraplane, introduced in the 1930s, became a legend for its speed and reliability. It was the kind of car that could outrun anything on the road and still have room for a family picnic in the back.
Innovators Extraordinaire:
Hudson wasn't content with just being fast; they wanted to be first. They introduced the "step-down" design in the late 1940s, making their cars lower and sleeker for better handling. It was a game-changer in the automotive world and set the bar for everyone else.
Racing Legends:
Hudson wasn't just about making cars for the street; they wanted to dominate the racetrack too. They stormed into NASCAR and became legendary for their racing successes. Drivers like Marshall Teague tore up the track, making Hudson a force to be reckoned with.
The Hudson Hornet:
When we talk about Hudson, we can't forget the Hudson Hornet. It was a true icon of the 1950s, winning countless races and stealing the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. That sleek, low-slung design and the unmistakable hornet emblem made it an instant classic.
End of the Road:
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Hudson merged with Nash-Kelvinator in the 1950s to form American Motors Corporation (AMC). While it marked the end of the Hudson brand, its legacy lives on in the hearts of those who remember the "Fabulous Hudson Hornet" and the roaring spirit of a true American automaker.
So, there you have it, the incredible journey of Hudson, the American underdog that roared through the automotive world with style, innovation, and a whole lot of high-spirited determination. Cheers to Hudson, a name that will forever be etched in the annals of automotive history!
